Billy Porter's attempt to break the gender stereotype is paving way for others to honour their skills and embrace their true selves. Fashion was never meant to be restricted. It was designed as a source of freedom and the idea of confining it to a particular type is nothing but ridiculous. We're glad for his audacity and hope he continues empowering everyone with his future attempts. Happy Birthday, Billy Porter! Keep slaying.
